Tips & Advice

  • Dress warmly in layers, because both shows are outdoors on Grandad Bluff on a December night in Wisconsin.
  • Families who don't want to stay up late can catch the early-evening show, and night owls can stay for the second show as the new year begins.
  • The New Year's Eve shows run on donations from individuals, so if you enjoy the fireworks, consider giving through the Skyrockers' Donations page.
